    Summary

    “Mn,” says Lan Zhan out of the blue one night. He has been playing guqin on the other side of the room without speaking for two hours, and Wei Wuxian has been noodling with some new ideas for talismans for nearly as long--one of those easy, quiet evenings of companionable silence, until Lan Zhan has thrown this enormous tantrum out of nowhere.

    Summary

    Essentially: LWJ's mom and WWX's mom ON THE RUN with THEIR KIDS.

    (...and also MY's mom. And any other goddamn moms who need help. Get in the fucking car, ladies, we're saving everybody)

    Because here's the thing: LWJ's mother was a cultivator who killed her future-husband's teacher. And I think we all have a pretty damn good idea what might have gone down to provoke that, and why the Lan menfolk never actually explain what precipitated this act of extreme violence, and thus we can probably take a stab at why a perhaps-newly-pregnant lady* might end up agreeing to a marriage of convenience with some guy she really wasn't into, who was determined to keep her locked up in a pleasant little prison in Gusu. And I'd like to say "aww, bless him, he saved his unrequited crush all selflessly like, even though they didn't then live together as husband and wife"....but he subsequently knocked her up with a second child. :/

    The ladies in MDZS tend to have a pretty shitty time, so this fic is pulling a goddamn Fury Road and scooping them up and taking them off to form their own Ye Olde Themyscira-ish Rogue Sect of ladies looking out for other ladies.

    (*obvs this is my headcanon.)

    Summary

    Every myth contains a grain of truth. Every legend begins with a story. Every fantastical tale is real in some fashion.

    Civilians have always claimed that Ninja are inhuman. (The civilian rumours are not wrong.) The Ninja have always dismissed the accusations. (They should not have.)

    Just because Ninja a mostly human now does not mean that is the way it has always been...

    ... Or that it will remain that way.

    Those that fall can also rise. Madara takes the first step. Tobirama follows. Together they make it the rest of the way. (They pave the way for others to follow.)

    Summary

    Obito thought quickly. "They're part of a... club... for babysitters."

    "A club," said Kakashi, flat.

    "Yep. A... babysitter's club."

    "I see," said Kakashi, who clearly didn't see at all.

    "Yeah, the clouds on the coats are supposed to be a soothing visual for kids?" Obito said, as he decided to dig himself deeper.

    "In red and black."

    "Okay, the color scheme could maybe stand to be changed," Obito conceded. He heard Konan snort from underneath the table.

    He glanced briefly at Hidan, who was now shaking his shoulders, and the entire curtain, laughing at Obito.
